Solved Examples: Counting On to Find the Total

📚 Quick Study Guide

• 🔢 Counting on is a strategy to add numbers by starting with the larger number and counting up by the smaller number.
• ➕ It simplifies addition, especially when one number is small.
• 💡 Example: To solve $5 + 3$, start with 5 and count on 3 more: 6, 7, 8. Therefore, $5 + 3 = 8$.
• 🎯 Key Idea: Always start with the bigger number to make it faster.
